THERE'S A STARS SPANGLED BANNER WAVING SOMEWHERE
|
|
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
|
In a distant land so many miles away
|
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
|
Where I wished that I could also live someday
|
I'd see Lincoln Custer Washington and Perry
|
Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly too
|
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
|
Waving on the land of the heroes brave and true
|
|
In this war with its mad schemes of destruction
|
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty
|
By the mad dictators leaders of corruption
|
Can't the US use a mountain boy like me
|
God gave me the right to be a free American
|
And for that precious right I'd gladly die
|
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
|
That is where I want to live when I die
|

|
Though I realize I'm crippled that is true sir
|
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg
|
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do sir
|
Let me help to bring the axis down a peg
|
If I do some brave deed I will be a hero
|
And the hero brave is what I want to be
|
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
|
In that heaven there should be a place for me
